"Xiao Yi, got up so early?"

Seeing Yi Zhan busy in the kitchen, Ms. Xu was a little surprised. He is a pampered son, how can he do this kind of housework? Besides, it's not yet six o'clock.

"Auntie, good morning."

Yi Zhan turned his head and smiled at Ms. Xu.

"Or I'll do it."

"No, you made such a big table last night, and you tried my craft this morning."

Ms. Xu didn't force it, nodded and shifted her gaze to the sofa. The sofa was empty, and there was a pair of slippers under the sofa, and she guessed in her heart.

Pick up the slippers on the floor and walk into Mengshu's room. Looking at her daughter who was still sleeping in bed, Ms. Xu put down her slippers and patted the edge of the bed gently, "Little lazy worm, get up." ”

Mengshu opens her eyes, Mom! Quickly skimmed his gaze, fortunately, Yi Zhan was not there.

"Mom, morning." Meng Shu smiled extraordinarily weakly.

"Didn't you sleep on the couch last night? Why did you get here again? ”

Meng Shu lifted the quilt, "Yi Zhan got up to go to the toilet last night and saw me sleeping on the sofa, so he insisted that I sleep on the bed." ”

Ms. Xu took her daughter's hand, and her voice was no longer as light as before, "You tell your mother honestly, do you have ......?"

Although Meng Shu blushed a little, he still said categorically: "No." ”

"Mom is not such a traditional person, you live together and take care of each other, I have no opinion."

Meng Shu nodded and said with a smile, "Mom, how did you know that we live together?" ”

"I have two treadmills at home."

Meng Shu patted her head, such a big guy, she actually forgot.

"What if it's a buy-one-get-one-free?"

"Can you get by with this reason?" Ms. Xu asked rhetorically, feeling that her IQ had been insulted.

Meng Shu smiled.

"The kitchen in this room is so big, I don't want to talk about all kinds of pots and pans, there are seven or eight kinds of cooking oil alone, and even four or five kinds of salt, I felt constrained when I was cooking yesterday. Xiao Yi is such a pampered son, but he is comfortable when cooking, and it is obvious that he often goes in and out of this kitchen. You all have jobs, and lunch should rarely be eaten at home. I also understand your character, whether it is at home for breakfast or dinner, he has a reason to ask to stay, or you have a reason to stay with him. ”

Mother's analysis made Meng Shu admire it so much, "It's worthy of you." ”

"But I didn't expect him to be able to cook."

"It's such a big person, it's not unusual to make breakfast."

"That's right." Ms. Xu said, "You and Xiao Yi are so young, and the two of them have a little physiological needs, and my mother can understand them, but ......"

"Mom, we really don't." Meng Shu is anxious, why doesn't her mother believe her like this?

Ms. Xu carefully looked at her daughter's figure from top to bottom, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Xiao Yi is so angry, you are such a big beauty next to him, how did he hold back?" ”

Mengshu: "?! ”

"Alright, no kidding the two of you. Mom is not such a traditional person, but until you get the approval of both parents, you have to keep it. ”

Meng Shu's eyes rolled, "Then you are here?" ”

"Xiao Yi likes you so much, and you like him so much. He was also born in the Yi family of Lanxian County, such an excellent child cultivated by the rising and moon-constant family, if I am not satisfied, I am afraid that you will not have a chance to marry in your life. As for Xiao Yi's family, you have to put more thought into it. ”

"How do you feel like I'm going to become a scheming girl who will do anything to marry into a wealthy family?"

"You, silly girl, have you watched too many TV series." Ms. Xu nodded her daughter's forehead, "I want you to pay more attention to it, so that you can understand the history and family style of the Yi family." The Yi family is one of the eight major families in Lan County, which has been inherited for more than ten generations, and it is still alive and well after hundreds of years of ups and downs. ”

"Family style and family motto?"

"Hmm. The most important thing in a family is nothing more than two things, one is the prosperity of the people, and the other is the best use of their talents. Family style and family motto are the historical precipitation of a family, which condenses the bones of generations after generations. Your grandfather's lifelong wish is that the Xu family can be ranked alongside the eight major families and become the ninth largest family in Lan County. Although the Xu family worked hard, they still couldn't catch up with the progress of the eight families. Now the outstanding girls in Lan County have all gone out of Lan County, and the eight major families attach great importance to the family temple, so it is normal for people of your age to not know much. If it was placed in the past, there was no girl in Lan County who did not want to marry into these eight families, especially the Lan family, which was as handsome as possible. ”

After these words, Ms. Xu's face showed a yearning that spanned 30 years.

"How many can the Yi family rank among the eight major families?"

"In addition to not being involved in politics, each of the eight families is involved in various fields. Thirty years ago, the four major families of Lan Li and Bailin were the most famous, the Lan family was fragrant with books, the Li family resisted the big gun, the Bai family was good at business, and the Lin family was in the sea and hidden, as for the Yi family, there seemed to be nothing outstanding, it should belong to the third rate. ”

Meng Shu burst out laughing, and a phrase came to her mind, the down-and-out young master of the third-rate family.

"What does the Lin family's sand and sea treasure mean?"

"The Lin family is famous for training scientists, and there are five academicians alone. One of these five academicians once took root in the Gobi Desert and lived incognito for more than 50 years, dedicating his life to the cause of national defense, and this is a real hero. Ms. Xu paused for a few seconds, and her voice became a little choked, "Academician Lin still did not forget his work when he was dying, and fought for the motherland until the last moment. He made a will, scattered his ashes in the desert, and returned to his homeland. On the day that Academician Lin was buried in Lin Ling, the eight major families held a memorial service for him, and I also made a special trip back to Lan County to see it. ”

"Then the next time I go back to Lan County, I will also take a good look at this Academician Lin."

Ms. Xu nodded with satisfaction, touched a handful of tears and said, "You deserve to have been raised by Brother Li and Sister Li since you were a child. ”

Meng Shu suddenly thought of something, and blurted out: "Aunt Li's surname is Li, she won't ......"

"That's right, she is from a Li family. When your aunt was young, she was a heroic beauty, a military flower in the army. When Brother Li was in the army, those recruits saw him and the two of them like mice saw cats. Although they haven't told you about the history of the Li family, you have been exposed to it since you were a child, and you also have the backbone of the Li family. ”

Uncle Li retired from the army in his forties and returned home for retirement due to physical reasons. At the beginning, Mengshu's parents were very busy with work and had no time to take care of her, so Aunt Li and Uncle Li had nothing to do and liked children very much, so they helped take care of her. Mengshu really didn't expect that those two kind and kind elders would also have such a time of hunting with flags.

"If you have time, you can ask Xiao Yi, he should know more clearly. The eight families have been inherited for a hundred years, and there are those who work hard, those who work hard, those who ask for their lives for the country, and those who sacrifice their lives to seek the law, and the stories of countless people with lofty ideals inspire generation after generation to forge ahead. ”

"Why does that sound familiar?"

"This is Mr. Lu Xun's article, and our Xu family can also carry it backwards."

Mengshu gave her mother a thumbs up.

"Oh, I remember, at that memorial service, the representative of the Yi family occupied a very high seat."

"Didn't you just say that the Yi family is the third-rate of the eight major families?" Mengshu's eyes widened.

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, it's normal for rankings to fluctuate." Ms. Xu put her daughter's hand between her palms and said with a smile, "An excellent daughter-in-law can make a family prosperous for at least three generations, so for a family, choosing a daughter-in-law and treating her well is the top priority." The Yi family is indeed very good, but my daughter is not bad. ”

Meng Shu smiled, picked up the slippers and put them on, not thinking about who brought the slippers at all.

"Mom, let's go, take you to try my skin care products and check if you are doing it correctly at home."

Mengshu spent ten minutes explaining and demonstrating to her mother again how to use skin care products correctly after washing her face. Yi Zhan brought today's breakfast to the table. Cold noodles, sweet potato, pumpkin, millet porridge, pancake fruit.

Looking at the breakfast on the dining table, Ms. Xu couldn't help but praise again and again: "Xiao Yi, the craftsmanship is good, I underestimate you." ”

Yi Zhan said modestly while placing the dishes and chopsticks: "Where, compared with you and Mengshu, there is still a big gap, and I don't know if it suits your appetite." ”

Meng Shu was more curious about the pancakes made by Yi Zhan, so he took a bite first, hey, it was delicious. The bread made of flour and mung bean flour is spread with chopped green onions and black sesame seeds, spread eggs, smeared with fried sauce, sandwiched with lettuce, and red sausages of the business committee!

"You're doing a good job with this pancake!"

Yi Zhan smiled, "Auntie, you can taste it too." ”

"Okay." Ms. Xu put down the spoon in her hand, took a bite of the pancake fruit, and frowned slightly, "This sausage?" ”

Yi Zhan didn't know why, and blurted out, "I found it in the refrigerator, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Mom, this is the Red Sausage of the Business Commission, I sent it to you last time." Meng Shu knew what her mother was worried about, but she had made it clear last time.

"I put it in the fridge and it hasn't been opened yet, is this really okay? This year's sausage and ham sausage can't be eaten casually! ”

"There is only one store in Harbin, and Xiaohong's mother also works there, so you can eat it with confidence."

Ms. Xu also stopped nagging, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yi, it's done well, and it tastes good." ”

Meng Shu felt inexplicably embarrassed, and glanced at Yi Zhan with his spare eyes, there was nothing unusual in his smile. He is a person of the utmost affection, and he doesn't take small things to heart at all. Open-minded and open-minded is the best gift God has given him.
